Thanks for pointing out the London panorama. I played with it a couple of times. I used the map to help me locate a few old haunts like the British Museum and University of London. Some areas have had significant new construction.

Jeff, Don't be taken in by his air of sophistication. He was searching for the Soho section, and a certain street corner. :D ;D :) Fred Title: Re: Panorama London Post by: Jeff on November 25, 2010, 03:31:31 PM Quote I used the map to help me locate a few old haunts like the British Museum and University of London.

I forgot.
What do 28 Dean Street, Soho, Highgate Cemetery, and the British Museum Reading Room seat G7 have in common? In Highgate Cemetery just across the path is Herbert Spencer--how ironic? Vlady Title: Re: Panorama London Post by: vsteffel on November 26, 2010, 03:24:52 AM Soho?
Click on the map. Then click on the + sign (zoom in) a few times and you will see a neat square. The direction from Centre Point is WWS. It's just a block or so south of Oxford St. and west of Charing Cross Rd. Also, you will see a red dot on St. Giles High Street. I think Centre Point is right there.

There was even a tool shop :) :) :) :) :) :) I was building a wooden boat, and they stocked such things as register chisels and bare foot ship augers, unobtainable elsewhere in the country.

Karl Marx! It is ironic that Herbert Spencer (The Social Darwinist) is buried right across from Karl Marx. Vlady Title: Re: Panorama London Post by: Lurcherjohn on December 14, 2010, 07:00:13 PM Fantastic panorama, you get strange effects with moving people near the joins. This tourist seems to have lost a leg and there is a head loose on the pavement.
